You know, I'm not a big fan of change. But sometimes it becomes terribly obvious that something's gotta give.

I've been blogging for almost two years now. In that time I've tried to give you an accurate picture of my own personal style. You've seen lots of different outfits in lots of different places.

For tomorrow we shall all die(t). As we approach the end of the holidays and the beginning of 2014 it's only appropriate to ring out the old year in style.
